Degrees to Gradians Converter
How to convert degrees to gradians
gradians = degrees × 1.11111111
To convert degrees to gradians, multiply the number of degrees by 1.11111111.
1° = 1.11111111 gon
Examples
- A right angle: 90° × 1.11111111 = 100 gon
- A full turn: 360° × 1.11111111 = 400 gon
Good to know
A full turn is 360 degrees or 400 gradians, so one gradian is exactly 0.9 degrees and a right angle is 100 gradians.
The gradian is the "GRAD" mode on scientific calculators. It is not the same as a degree, and it is unrelated to the percent grade of a slope.

Unit definitions
- Degree (°)
- A degree is 1/360 of a full turn. It is the everyday unit of angle, used in geometry, navigation and geographic coordinates.
- Gradian (gon)
- A gradian, also called a gon or grad, is 1/400 of a full turn, exactly 0.9 degrees, so a right angle is 100 gradians. It is used in surveying, mainly in continental Europe.
